@Sunshine Now running over a month with Beta 1.7.0 0.9.1 Firmware without a problem. Cross fingers ;-).
I did not change settings (automatic band selection, 4G preferred)

Hi, we community have no advanced information yet when official firmware will be released, please pay attention to the firmware update on the router web interface and TP-Link official website.

Thank you for your reply!
Now I can say that, after the firmware upgrade as suggested, the router is working fine error free since 3 weeks!
The only question I would like to Address now is related to the differencies I see between the router model reported on the label and what I can see through the settings by getting access through the web page! Do I have the 500 or 550?! Is it possible I bought a 550 with the old hardware??
Many thanks for any support you can provide me in addressing this.
Have a nice day
Dario

Hi, the model no. on the label is correct, so the product you have is indeed Archer MR550, the reason why web interface shows MR500 is that the MR550 uses the same firmware as MR500 initially.
For future update, you should use MR550 firmware.

@Quyosh I didn't like the beta firmware, it needs the factory firmware after 2024, band 41, the frequency is 2600, turn it on, that's why I bought it, it says that the characteristics are podgejka, I need the latest 2024 program, it's not beta, we installed it, it's not good

Hi, the supported frequency bands are the same with official firmware or this beta firmware including the band 41 as well, if there is any problem, please provide more details.

@Quyosh Android connects band 41 to its frequency on the phone, but on the router, it is necessary to catch the 4G+ signal. Why is band 41 on the load selection point, but the signal is received on the phone? Why is this band 40-41 available on Keenetics, please don't tell me. Download 2024 stock firmware
